For myself it was wonderful the way you delivered your wisdom through format and conversation. I appreciate the effort, time and diligence it takes to reach the levels you have. Thank you for sharing." On Master Hodson's teaching of the martial art Path: "Sensei, I would like to thank you for sharing & teaching us this beautiful art. I would have never thought that I would become a martial artist and specially being taught by such a wonderful Sensei. I am forever grateful." And finally if words were not enough for you...in summary: "Lastly and most importantly, Daishihan Hodson. There are no words that can equate to what is expressed in a humble bow.
